Summary: Yes, there was blood, but the sacrifice was well worth it 2010-01-27
Comment: Full disclaimer: the blood is my own fault. I'm a straight-razor novice. Given time, I'm sure, I would be an expert.

This is a decent, entry level straight razor. If you're given to epileptic fits, seizures, constant tremors in your limbs, or are generally a royal klutz, please steer clear of this product. If the above descriptors do not apply, then read on.

The handle affords a nice grip, the blade holder swings a full 180 degrees to choose the angle most suited to your own style, and the best part ... the angle holds! The last thing one needs to worry about is having the blade arm swing wildly as one prepares to maul one's face.

I had numerous cuts and nicks on the first attempt. The second attempt resulted in a smaller blood loss, but I did see red.
The key is to shave right after a decent shower. Lather, lather, lather. I cannot overstress the importance of lathering up. Even after you've covered the visage under a nice, thick coat of lather, periodically touch it up with the brush dipped in warm water (foam will cool off rapidly on your face).
Plan your shave. This is one morning activity that definitely requires alertness. Have your morning coffee/tea if you're so inclined. Do NOT drink those fluids if they give you the shakes! Plan your attack. Identify the areas you will work on first. Have the dehumidifying fan on, or wait for the after-shower mist to clear. Alert your family members not to unleash any practical jokes right about now.
Start with small, even strokes of the blade. I recommend working on smooth, flat areas like the cheeks and mustache. I bought this razor to use in conjunction with he Parker 22R (http://amzn.com/B0017QSZY4). A wise move indeed. It will be weeks before I attempt the neck and chin with the straight razor.
A very important point to consider is this - what will be the angle of incidence of the blade on face? Simply put, how much will you incline the blade when it meets the skin? Too flat (almost parallel to the face) and you're removing foam and slicing air. Too inclined and you're a menace to yourself. You will have to figure this out yourself. It depends on your skin, hair type, heaviness of growth, etc. Most importantly, it depends on your skill. Also, start with a very light touch. Don't press the razor in to your skin, but figure out how light is too light (you're not shaving at all) and then increase the pressure very judiciously.

Once you get the hang of this wonderful implement, you will have the best shaving experience of your life. The closest thing to the fabled barbershop shave.

Be safe and happy shaving!

Summary: PARKER SR1 - Stainless Steel Straight Edge Razor 2010-01-25
Comment: My order was filled the same day and received within 3 days - excellent service! Howi at [...] was very helpful and responsive.

This is the first straight razor I've ever owned and tried. The SR1 is an excellent product for the price-point. It is all metal - including the handle. The fact that you can personalize your 'edge' with this product by choosing your favorite blade is a huge advantage. The ability to use it with standard DE blades (easily split in two) makes it versatile and very economical as well. I had no problem with blade placement.

I tried it immediately after receipt with truly excellent results - this coming from a total S/R beginner. It holds the blades very well between the 'scissor-like' arms during use. Clean up is equally easy. This product feels good in the hands though I have nothing to compare it to except DE safety razors. With a very steady hand and technique (the operative words), the end result using the supplied SHARK half baldes left this beginner with a better/closer shave than I was able to achieve with comperable safety razors. A word of advice - practice, practice, practice! ;-)

Summary: extremely happy with purchace 2010-01-07
Comment: I do agree with one person who mentioned that the metal itself has imperfections and the spacer at the rivet is plastic. However @ 17$ You cannot argue. I have used my stainless steel straight razor for years, This is a wonderful replacement. No strop ect. I have used other razors that use one time use blades (strait razors) and well when it comes to price This is the best value. The 5 blades are wonderful and i purchased the 240 pack shortly after. A wonderful note over personal or other brand blades, The freakin price. Personal 1$ a blade this 10cents a blade
